Instagram Standalone Settings - Groniz Documentation

Instagram Standalone posts use the same settings schema as Facebook Business-linked Instagram. The only difference is the __type value - everything else (post type, trial reels, collaborators, image arrays) is identical.

The audio setting (attaching music or original sounds to Reels) is not available on standalone channels - the Instagram Audio API only works with Facebook Login. The audio setting is ignored when posting, and the audioSearch tool is not exposed for instagram-standalone integrations.

Settings Schema

{
  "settings": {
    "__type": "instagram-standalone",
    "post_type": "post",
    "is_trial_reel": false,
    "collaborators": []
  }
}

For the full field reference (including post_type values, trial reel options, and collaborator format), see the Instagram settings page.
